The person that sent me this info is kept anon here, as I think they
prefered that.
It seems that perhaps Best Buy as well as CVS moght not have actually
turned off the wireless toys, but, rather tuned them down some:
<quoted from two seperate e-mail on the topic from one person>
Yes they ARE still up... I just drove by... at 6:37 pm eastern time on
05/31/02
The original BestBuy where I found that they were doing plain text is
ALSO still running wireless even though they claimed to have banned
them. Maybe they did in your town ... but not in mine

oh yeah I almost forgot... I have no antenna and I can usually catch em
about a block up the street... its just rained and its abit humid if
that makes a difference but this time I had to go RIGHT up by the window
to get anything and I only got 11 packets. They may have implemented
omni-directional antennas or something.

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
